I've got something I'd like to tell youSomething that happend to meI'd been feelin' thoroughly lowdownSo I went to see the gypsyShe sat me down by her candleShe said she had the powers that beAnd she looked me in the eye and took my handAnd this is what she said to meChorus:She said, now you're flying highTomorrow you might be lowThe same thing that makes your baby cryMight make him get up and goShe said this would be all for nowBut that you might come backIf you find it hard to understandSimple little words like thatSo I gave her all of my moneyAnd took off for SingaporeBut I couldn't unravel those words of hersSo I went back to the gypsy for moreChorusWell, just about this time my luck changedAnd fortune did roll inWell I learned the meaning of happinessAnd the value of a friendI met a fine young gentlemanAs fine as a man can beBut I never forgot that gypsy girlAnd what she said to meChorus
